Writing better software: 30 years of UNIX development wisdom
In this book, five years in the making, the author encapsulates three decades of unwritten, hard-won software engineering wisdom. Raymond brings together for the first time the philosophy, design patterns, tools, culture, and traditions that make UNIX home to the world's best and most innovative software, and shows how these are carried forward in Linux and today's open-source movement. Using examples from leading open-source projects, he shows UNIX and Linux programmers how to apply this wisdom in building software that's more elegant, more portable, more reusable, and longer-lived.
Raymond incorporates commentary from thirteen UNIX pioneers:
Ken Thompson, the inventor of UNIX. Ken Arnold, part of the group that created the 4BSD UNIX releases and co-author of "The Java Programming Language." Steven M. Bellovin, co-creator of Usenet and co-author of "Firewalls and Internet Security." Stuart Feldman, a member of the Bell Labs UNIX development group and the author of "make" and "f77." Jim Gettys and Keith Packard, principal architects of the X windowing system. Steve Johnson, author of "yacc" and of the Portable C Compiler.Brian Kernighan, co-author of "The C Programming Language, The UNIX Programming Environment, The Practice of Programming, " and of the "awk" programming language. David Korn, creator of the "korn" shell and author of "The New Korn Shell Command and Programming Language."Mike Lesk, a member of the Bell Labs development group and author of the "ms" macro package, the "tbl" and "refer" tools, "lex" and "UUCP."Doug McIlroy, Director of the Bell Labs research group where UNIX was born and inventor of the UNIX pipe. Marshall Kirk McKusick, developer of the 4.2BSD fast filesystem and a leader of the 4.3BSD and 4.4BSD teams. Henry Spencer, a leader among early UNIX developers, who created "getopt," the first open-source string library, and a regular-expression engine used in 4.4BSD.
